BBC Bosses Warned

Sir Michael Lyons, chairman of The BBC Trust has warned management that they will be watching the children's department very closely.

This comes after a 10% budget cut was placed on the department due to the BBC not getting the license fee that they requested.
With many broadcasters cutting down on their child orientated programming, due to the severe lack of commercial interest, BBC1 remains to be the only analogue linear broadcaster to show these programs after a regular school time.
Lyons has promised that the trust are going to keep a close eye on the quality of programming intended for children, and make sure that the standard doesn't fall.

It is a pure shame that quality children's programs are becoming so few and far between, as I remember myself getting up at stupid-o'clock in the morning to watch my cartoons as a child.
